She turned 24 years old when her fiancé and future husband landed on Utah Beach on D-Day.Ellen's mother (Elsie) died when Ellen was 15 years old; she then stayed with and took care of her grandmother, Catherine (Space) Fowkes, until Catherine's death in 1949.

She loved her family very much and especially liked the holidays when families would gather together. Her chocolate chip cookies are forever remembered by anyone who visited at Christmas.Ellen survived her husband by 30 years, beginning a new chapter in her life. She lived for 20 years on Ridge Avenue in Brookville, and attended Grace Lutheran Church with her friends Merle and Kathryn Spangler. She also stayed with her friend MaryLu Boddorf for a time; and moved to Brookside Senior Living until 2013.
